Come one, come all. Show off the gear you don't leave home without. Wallets, watches, jewelry, knives, guns, cutters, lighters, bags and any other doodads and whizbangs that line your pockets or cover your body

    The just in case pipe kit. I usually don't have time to smoke every day but when I do, it's nose warmer to the rescue

    The tactical satchel. This bad mamma jamma is my lunch box, book bag, and catch all for everything that doesn't sit well in my pockets. It's like the Tardis with it's exterior appearance vs interior space

    @webmost I'm not sure why it capitalized barlow like a brand. I meant it as a description of a style of single blade non locking folding knife

    My previous Barlow had an oversized bolster and a, whatchacallit, kinda oval ended  handle. Lemme find a pic

    Yeah, this one:


    ... got that when I joined the boy scouts.

    Not a knife expert, don't even play one on TV. I am a collector, tho ... in that I collect exactly one knife at a time, hone it down to a skinny sliver, then collect another... which may take ten years for that cycle to complete.

    Whipped it out last night when we took my visiting stepson out to a steakhouse. Dunno how people live without a knife. That shabby serrated foolishness they give you in a restaurant, that just haggles your meat. Disgusting.

    I certainly see the difference in the bolsters. Steak knives in restaurants are garbage. If I wanted shredded beef I would have ordered it. I generally cut my steaks in restaurants with my own knife too. It's sharper and I know where it's been

    Oh snap. @Yakster is pulling stops out. Why do you need 3 bottle openers?

    Wow. That is light @CharlieHeis. I'm the opposite. If I ever encounter deep water I'm doomed. I would sink like a stone

    Keys, triple torch, bic, and Victorinox Hunter.  I've alternated between the Hunter and the Tinker for decades.  Although, since I've about worn this one out, it's time for a new Hunter.

    I have to carry a few pounds of steel on me. Otherwise all the hot air I'm full of might finally lift me right off the ground

    Beautiful pieces @Rhamlin.

    I have one of those Henry knives given to me by my father. He searched long and hard to find one identical to his since they went out of production several years ago or changed production quality or some such. I refuse to carry it for fear of damaging or losing something I couldn't possibly replace

    Oops! Can't believe I forgot, Czech pipe tool.
